It seems that RELENG_7 carries a newer version of driver, so I guess the
problem should have been resolved. Part of changes were MFC'ed 5 months
ago to RELENG_6, so you may also want to try a RELENG_6 snapshot from:
http://www.freebsd.org/snapshots/
In order to verify if it resolves your problem. Let us know if the
problem still persists.
